Trinnov Audio has announced its support for Roon music software, with availability expected in the first quarter of 2017. All existing Amethyst and Altitude32 preamplifier/processors can become Roon-Ready with a simple and free software update that includes a 60-day complimentary Roon license.
Roon is a music server system that collects music from all end-user computers, NAS drives, and even streaming services like TIDAL, bringing them together in one interface. It dispenses with IP-based transmission of audio streams, implementing instead its own Roon Advanced Audio Transport to ensure maximum playback quality throughout the home.
Both the Amethyst and Altitude32 feature a Network Renderer feature that is designed to receive audio files over the home’s network and to convert them to audio at the highest-possible quality. They also incorporate Trinnov’s proprietary Speaker/Room Optimizer that corrects for limitations and deficiencies in both the loudspeakers themselves and in the acoustics of the room.
